Results: Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my two Jabonman soaps sometime in the next couple of days (hopefully). Meanwhile, I went Proraso today. I do love the Eucalyptus scent:nj...very refreshing on a hot day. I am beginning to get a very good result out of MNS:y. The Shavemac made mounds of this wholeness to goodness magic mix that was in the bowl. The Henckels was refreshed on the hones last night (a very relaxing and zen exercise for me). Another BBS day and ready for a meeting in the evening with Adam Draper, a famous Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist. |
